You may find the book "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" interesting if you have not read it. The author posits that it isn't people entrenched in the field that will offer breakthrough advancements, but it is instead outsiders looking in.

More often than not, they are aggressively rebutted, which leads to the belief that science progresses one funeral at a time. Perhaps it is you who needs to guard against hubris?

I disagree with you; therefore by your own logic, I am right.


I wish I could claim the logic, but I am a nobody who knows nothing. The author of the book, however, has impressed people for over 70 years with this line of thought and I too agree with him.
